Find via Terminal

So you need to find a file quickly on your machine. If you are in the terminal do :
mdfind file_name
It's like using Spotlight but within the terminal. It's really fast and a nice way to find files that you need quickly.

Thanks, that's awesome advice. I just used it and it felt faster than Spotlight. It also gave me the full directory so I can copy and paste easily.
